Tommy Aijie Da Silva Weng, a 49-year-old man from New York City, was charged with wire fraud and impersonating a federal agent after he defrauded a Chinese woman out of $500,000. He lured her with false promises of assisting her green card application and gave her fabricated excuses for delays over several years. The indictment reveals Weng misrepresented himself as a federal officer who was seeking investors for a hotel project in California, further exploiting her desire for U.S. citizenship. He has been detained due to flight risk concerns stemming from his ties to China.
On Friday, prosecutors revealed a man posing as a federal agent convinced a woman to invest $500,000 in her salivation for a green card but never filed the application.
